PowerProtect Data Manager includes a built-in health monitoring mechanism that continuously evaluates the status of the system components, protection engines, and communication with asset sources.
Interval: The system is hardcoded to perform an automatic health check every 5 minutes.
Purpose: These checks monitor critical services, disk space, memory usage, and connectivity. If a component fails or performance thresholds are exceeded, the health check triggers alerts and updates the dashboard status. This frequent interval ensures that administrators are notified of environmental issues shortly after they occur, minimizing the window of vulnerability for protection operations.
